Naruto: My setting is above yours.

After the treatment, Genma went forward to treat the salamander and then hypnotized it.

Finally, Minato Namikaze used a sealing technique to seal away part of the sleeping Salamander's memories, making him completely forget that he came to Konoha.

It can be said that everything was arranged perfectly.

After ending the summoning, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki bid farewell and went home.

"Xuanma, remember to call me if there are any more interesting things like this in the future!"

Before leaving, Kushina Uzumaki waved and shouted.

With war approaching, she can't even leave the village now; such an interesting thing is rare.

Genma replied with a smile, "Absolutely no problem."

After watching the two leave, Genma and Tsunade arrived at Konoha Hospital.

Tsunade plans to work through the night to develop an antidote for the deadly poison of the salamander.

Silent and Fennel were also there, so they could help out.

Xuanma didn't stay up all night and went home promptly at 10 p.m.

The next two days were for rest. Apart from summoning Tobirama Senju to communicate, Genma spent most of his time practicing swordsmanship with his teacher, Sakumo Hatake.

His battle with Hanzo made him realize that his swordsmanship was far from being refined enough.

During this training, Hanzo's messenger quietly entered Konoha.

On the third day of my vacation, Jingyin delivered five doses of antidote.

Thus, Hanzo's deadly salamander poison was no longer a threat to Genma.

On this very day, Danzo, accompanied by members of Root, escorted the envoys from Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village) away from Konoha (Hidden Leaf Village) to the Land of Rain.

Genma, being just a lowly Chunin, naturally had no idea about this.

However, he could guess that Konoha was already colluding with Amegakure.

After a three-day rest, the Shuomao squad went on another mission.

"Hey, receiving intelligence personnel, these kinds of missions are usually handled by the secret service, right?"

After Sakumo Hatake finished explaining the mission details, Aoba Yamashiro subconsciously asked a question.

With more experience in tasks, the classification of tasks will naturally become clear.

These kinds of tasks are basically done in the shadows, and are most likely carried out by the root department.

Genma seemed lost in thought, probably because the Dark Division and Root Division had been too busy lately.

As expected, Hatake Sakumo said, "With the outbreak of war, manpower has become somewhat scarce."

"So you need to be prepared to carry out frequent missions from now on."

Xuanma and the other two nodded in agreement.

Then Sakumo Hatake accelerated, and the group sped through the forest, heading towards the northeastern border of the Land of Fire.

They traveled in silence, and the next day at noon, Genma and his party rested at the border of the Land of Fire.

"This mission is very important. After confirming that the person being picked up is correct, Aoba and Shizune, you are responsible for leading the mission target back the way you came. Genma, you and I will cover the rear and intercept any pursuing ninjas that may appear."

After taking the soldier's ration pills, Sakumo Hatake made serious arrangements.

Xuanma and the other two simply nodded without saying a word, quietly resting and recovering their strength.

Two hours later, the team set off again, crossing the border of the Land of Fire into the Land of Hot Water, and continued heading northeast.

On the afternoon of the third day after leaving Konoha, Genma and the others arrived in the Land of the Moon, north of the Land of Hot Springs.

Further north, passing through the Land of the Moon, lies the Land of Thunder.

At the top of the mountain, Shancheng Qingye squatted on the canopy of a large tree, holding a monocular telescope and gazing northward.

Under the tree, Genma lowered his eyes and rested silently.

Sakumo Hatake took Shizune to investigate the surrounding area.

After waiting for about two hours, Yamashiro Aoba suddenly fell from the tree: "Teacher, I'm here!"

Sakumo Hatake stood up: "Aoba, Shizune, you two stay and continue to monitor."

"Xuanma, come with me!"

After speaking, the person disappeared, and Xuanma immediately used his Instantaneous Movement Technique to catch up.

The two descended the mountain from the north, one after the other. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Genma stayed behind as ordered and hid in the woods, while Hatake Sakumo went out alone to meet the newcomer.

Xuanma watched from afar, and because it was so far away, he could only roughly judge that the person being picked up was a woman.

That head is too short.

After waiting for a while, Genma saw his teacher, Hatake Sakumo, return with the target.

It seems the person is probably right, but he didn't let his guard down.

The intelligence personnel who came to meet us looked unusual; they were probably spies lurking in Kumogakure.

As the two approached, Xuanma recognized the intelligence agent.

She was indeed a woman, wearing glasses, and looked gentle and quiet. Under normal circumstances, one would never think of her as a spy.

"Could it be that woman?"

Genma felt a little strange and stepped out from behind the tree: "Teacher!"

Sakumo Hatake nodded slightly, but did not introduce himself.

Xuanma and the intelligence officer exchanged a glance, nodded slightly to each other, and then passed each other.

Xuanma did not leave with them; instead, he left behind a clone that transformed into a falcon and flew high into the sky to begin surveillance.

A moment later, Sakumo Hatake returned: "Is there something wrong?"

Xuanma shook his head: "Not for now."

"Why did they suddenly return to meet up with the intelligence personnel at this time?"

He asked.

Sakumo Hatake said, "They must possess extremely important intelligence, but there is also the possibility that the intelligence is at risk of being exposed."

Genma pondered, "It seems that Cloud Village is not satisfied with the gains from the Land of Wind."

Sakumo Hatake said with a hint of seriousness, “Kumokakure has always liked to expand outwards.”

"Your Lightning Release has advanced further, and it can be said that it follows the same path as the Lightning Release of the Hidden Cloud Raikage."

"If you encounter this, be extremely careful."

Raikage!

Genma's eyes lit up, and then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, teacher, I will."

"By the way, how does the teacher's strength compare to the Raikage's?"

Sakumo Hatake shook his head: "We've never fought, but there's no doubt that you, Master, are no match for the Raikage."

"Your Lightning Release has now surpassed your teacher's, but you must not underestimate those renowned ninjas."

"Even those who seem weaker than you think you can't be underestimated. Your lightning style is strong, but it's not strong enough to be invincible."

"As far as I know, Lord Danzo of the village's Wind Release technique can pose a threat to you."

"And there are quite a few Sand Village experts in Wind Escape."

Genma stopped smiling and nodded seriously: "Teacher, I will be careful. I value my life very much."

"I'm so young and haven't even had a chance to enjoy the beauty of this world yet, I don't want to die so soon."

Hearing this, and seeing the iron armor his disciple was wearing, Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but smile and feel relieved.

Just as Xuanma was about to continue speaking, his brow twitched as the memories from his clone returned.

"Teacher, it must be the pursuers!"

Xuanma solemnly replied, "Two four-person teams, we're not sure if there are any more people behind them!"

Sakumo Hatake immediately became serious: "Is it a Cloud Ninja?"

Xuanma nodded: "Judging from their clothes, they're fine."

Sakumo Hatake said, "Two squads, at least two Jonin."

"Leave this to me, you go to the next location to intercept them."

Xuanma nodded and turned to leave.

He wasn't too worried about his teacher, Sakumo Hatake, offering comfort.

Two four-person teams, unless they are all Jonin.

Even so, it's impossible for all of them to stay and besiege their teacher, Hatake Sakumo. Some of them would hold him off while others continued the pursuit.

This is also why he needs to go to the next location.

Upon arriving at the second interception point, Xuanma immediately activated his senses.

He soon felt a violent fluctuation in chakra.

The battle has begun!

"They really split up; a squad is coming!"

Everything was as expected.

Xuanma kept a close eye on the enemy's movements, only raising his hand to form a hand seal when the enemy was almost there.

In an instant, twelve shadow clones appeared in the forest.

Soon, four Cloud Ninjas rushed over.

“There are a lot of people, but they are all clones. Leave this to me, you guys keep chasing!”

The leader of the Cloud Ninja gave the order.

The other three immediately obeyed and leaped to avoid the area.
